Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"Cecil suddenly asked me how I met Diana three years ago."

"Diana Hayes?" Everleigh frowned. "Why is she asking about Diana all of a sudden?"

Diana was Cecil's younger sister, and an adopted daughter of the Hayes family. She had a good relationship with Cecil since childhood, and they were closer than real sisters. Therefore, after Christopher broke up with Diana, Cecil was so mad that she almost broke his legs. They had been in a cold war for half a year.

"How would I know? As soon as she mentioned Diana, I shivered with fear, thinking that she was going to bring up old accounts with me again. I was wet with cold sweat, and I still haven't recovered until now."

"You deserve it. Why did you upset her younger sister? You didn't know that Diana was the apple of her eyes?"

"Please, I didn't even know that she was Cecil's sister at that time. If I knew, I wouldn't have approached her no matter how hard she tried to get close to me."

"Come on, did she try to get close or were you flirting first?"

"Forget it, forget it. You wouldn't believe me even if I say so. Why should I explain this to you? It's been so long." Christopher suddenly changed the topic. "So, has Diana returned to the country?"

"I haven't heard about it."

"That's weird. My eyelids have been twitching these past two days." Christopher sighed. "The call from Cecil made me sleepless for several nights."

Diana had left a deep impression on Christopher back then. He changed girlfriends faster than he changed clothes. There were few ex-girlfriends that he could remember, except this one, whose name was etched in his mind.

It wasn't because of deep love that he remembered Diana. As far as Everleigh knew, the two of them had only been together for less than three days, and they never did anything intimate. The reason she left such a huge shadow on Christopher was that after Cecil knew about it, she carried out a series of inhumane and violent acts against him.

Thinking of those days, Everleigh also felt sorry for Christopher. "Don't think too much. Maybe she just asked casually."

"She asked casually, but it scared me out of my wits! Last night, I even dreamed that she was holding a gun against my head!" "Seriously? It's all in the past," Everleigh felt distressed and also thought that it was funny, "Enough, I'll ask her for you later." "Fine."

"By the way, my father's matters were temporarily solved. Thank you." Thinking that Felicia had been busy these days for the Trevino family's business, Everleigh could only feel grateful.

"You'd only express your gratitude verbally?"

Everleigh rolled her eyes. "What else do you want me to do?"

"Use your body to repay me."

His words came from the other end of the phone, which made Everleigh stunned for a moment. "Hello, are you serious?"

After a second of pause, a casual laugh came from the other end. "I'm kidding. I won't want it even if you agree. When I go back, treat me to a big meal and you can also take the night shift for me a few more times." "Are you a human being? Do you still want to take advantage of me? A few night shifts? I'll do three at most."

"At least five."

"Two."

"Fine, fine. Three is good."

...

After chatting for a while, someone seemed to be calling Christopher on the other side of the phone. "Something's going on in the community. I'm hanging up."

"Okay, I'm going to work too."

After hanging up the phone, Everleigh put the phone back into her pocket. After washing her hands again, she left the bathroom. Thinking of Christopher's words, she suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Cecil these days. She wasn't fully in the right state of mind.

Two days ago, she asked about the summer vacation of their sophomore year.

Everleigh secretly thought about that time. The fact that Diana broke up with Christopher three years ago was a completely separate matter, and there was no connection between them.

She didn't understand and she didn't have time to think about it. There was a stack of theses from Ocpeace Medical University's students on her desk waiting for her. She hurried back to the office and made some amendments to them before the clinic opened.

In the afternoon, Everleigh had a lunch break in the office.

There was a knock on the door from outside. "Knock, knock." "Come in. The door is unlocked."

"Dr. Trevino, it's me." Moses' voice followed the opening of the door.

Hearing his voice, the pen in Everleigh's hand immediately stopped. When she looked up, there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes. "Mr. Lawson, why are you here?"

"I'm here to send this." Moses waved the thermos in his hand, "You left in a hurry this morning and forgot to take this with you. I happened to be passing by, so I came to deliver it."

Looking at the thermos, Everleigh came back to her senses and breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, I forgot about it. I have to trouble you to make a trip."

"That's what I should do. I happened to come here to visit Madam Scott. By the way, you didn't tell her about Mr. Godfrey's hospitalization, right?"

"No," Everleigh denied. "Leon told me that if it hadn't been for hiding it from Madam Scott, he wouldn't have gone to the other hospital."

...

In the office, Everleigh and Moses were talking seriously. No one noticed that the door of the office was left ajar and a small head was leaning in the crack of the door, looking inside. When she heard that Theodore was hospitalized, Adrienne covered her mouth and turned around to look at her brother with a look of shock. Her eyes widened.

"Why are you back so soon?" Helen was reading the newspaper on the sofa in the living room. When she saw the two kids running back from the door, she took off her glasses with a kind smile. Adrienne sat down on the sofa, "Great-Grandma, something big has happened."

"What happened?" Helen smiled.

"Alastair and I went to see Mommy just now and saw Mr. Lawson there. He said Daddy was hospitalized."

"Hospitalized? Who?" Helen's expression changed, and she turned to look at Alastair and asked, "Alastair, what's going on?"

Although Adrienne's words were clear, it was easy for her to mess things up as she couldn't understand. She needed Alastair for such a crucial thing.

Compared with Adrienne, who was in a hurry and looked like the sky had collapsed, Alastair was much calmer.

"He should be in the hospital. Mr. Lawson said it himself. He is Theodore's assistant, so he won't lie."

"Is there such a thing? Why didn't anyone tell me?" Helen's face became serious. She looked around for her phone and said, "I'll make a phone call and ask."

"Great-Grandma, don't worry," Alastair said seriously, "Theodore should not be seriously ill, and Mommy must have gone to the hospital last night to take care of him."

"Hm?" Helen and Adrienne both looked at him.

"How do you know?" Adrienne's question was also what Helen wanted to ask.

Alastair calmly analyzed, "Mommy didn't go home last night, and she took toiletries to wash up. She also packed up the fish soup at home. But last night, on the hospital's duty list, Mommy's name wasn't there."
